This is the terrifying moment that hit-and-run killer Ashley Lindo was involved in a high speed chase around the centre of Middlesbrough.

Lindo, 24, was arrested after police followed him travelling up to 60mph through narrow, residential streets - close to where his stolen car struck and killed eight-year-old Daniel Conroy Curtin during a joyride in 2006.

Lindo, of Orwell Street, Newport, Middlesbrough, is seen here on CCTV racing down Longford Street, through a stop sign at the blind junction of Parliament Road, before thundering down Union Street.

The car can then be seen screeching round the corner onto Derwent Street, with police in hot pursuit.

Trying to avoid a stationary police vehicle, Lindo’s car smashed into a kerb and blew out two tyres on his car.

He then hit 60 miles per hour on Newport Road, shot across Newport roundabout towards Acklam Road, before again turning sharply and making his way back to Parliament Road, and stopped outside the Samuelson’s Working Man’s Club, the court heard.

Devastated Clare, 38, said: “I said from the beginning that he would keep doing it again and again, and he has proved that.

“I think what makes me more angry is that at his age, he should have been given a tougher sentence. He’s not 16 any more. Surely he has some idea of what is right and wrong.”

Lindo’s defence barrister Gary Wood told Teesside Crown Court last Monday that the 24-year-old had significantly changed his lifestyle since he and his partner had a baby six weeks ago, and that he felt panicked when police saw him driving.

“He said he was panicked when he saw police - well how many times can that be an excuse?” continued Clare.
